Appliepie’s father sat quietly in his wheelchair. When he saw Sloane walk in, his eyes filled with deep gratitude.
Sloane approached Appliepie’s bedside, handing her the flowers and the plush doll. She smiled, gently patting
the child’s head. “The doctors toldyou've been very brave.’
Appliepie looked up with a proud little grin. “Because | want to get better fast and grow up faster. That way, | can
help Mom and Dad, so they don’t have to work so hard.”
Hearing something so thoughtful from such a small child, Sloane’s heart melted. Her eyes prickled with heat. She
reached out and lightly pinched Appliepie’s cheek. “You're amazing, sweetheart.”
Appliepie’s mom, standing nearby, wiped her tears as they began to spill.
Appliepie’s father lowered his head, his gaze falling on his useless legs. His voice carried a heavy, quiet
bitterness. “It’s all my fault. | dragged this whole family down with me. If | could still walk, Appliepie’s mom
wouldn't have to work so hard... and Appliepie could just be a happy little girl.”

His wife quickly stepped over and took his hand, eyes glistening. “Don’t say that. As long as we're all together, |
don’t feel like I'm suffering.”
Watching the family’s warmth and resilience, Sloane blinked away the emotion rising behind her
eyes. She said firmly, “Don’t lose hope. | told you—I can cure this. And | meant it.”
She stepped forward and knelt down beside him, examining his legs with practiced hands.
Appliepie’s father watched her, eyes full of trust and gratitude. “Dr. Gray, thank you. Truly. Just helping Appliepie
recover is more than enough for us. As for my legs... the top specialists in Stonebridge already said they couldn't
be saved. | don’t want to burden you with false hope.”
Sloane didn’t answer. She calmly pulled out a set of needles. After swiftly disinfecting the area, she began the
treatment.
Her fingers moved with steady precision, inserting the needles one by one into key acupuncture points along his
legs.
The room fell completely silent. Everyone held their breath, eyes locked on her hands.
Suddenly, Appliepie’s father twitched.

He froze. Then his eyes widened.
“I... | felt something! It stung!”

His voice trembled, filled with disbelief—and rising hope. Appliepie and her mother gasped, staring at him in
astonishment and joy.
Sloane finally looked up, her expression composed and direct. “Your previous diagnosis wasn’t wrong. The nerves
in your legs were severely damaged. With standard treatment, recovery would've been impossible.”
Appliepie’s father instantly paled, lips trembling. “So.... so there’s no chance after all?”
Sloane's voice remained calm but firm. “I said standard treatment. What I'm using is a specialized form of dry
needling-something | developed. Combined with precise
rehabilitation, it stimulates nerve regeneration and restores muscle strength. If you stick with it, you will walk
again.”
Appliepie’s parents stared at her, stunned into silence. Their eyes widened as hope flooded their faces.
“Dr. Gray... are you serious?” Appliepie’s mother asked, her voice trembling. Tears gathered again at the corners
of her eyes.
Sloane nodded. “But the process will be painful. You'll need to cooperate fully.”
Appliepie’s father choked up, then nodded hard. “I will. | promise. I'll do anything!”
Just then, Sloane seemed to remember something. Her expression darkened slightly.
“There's something else you should know. Boone... has lost his mind completely. He's been committed to a
psychiatric facility. He'll spend the rest of his life there.”
Appliepie’s father and mother stared in shock.
After a long, tense silence, Appliepie’s mother whispered, “Serves him right.”
